Of course! HP has been showing "roadmaps" for many months that show future
growth paths for both the HP9000 and the HP3000. Both platforms will
transition to "IA-64", which includes Itanium (AKA Merced), McKinley, and
their successors. Although no specific model numbers have been announced, I
think it is safe to assume McKinley will show up in some HP products.
Whether that will include the 3000 product line remains to be seen.

<clipped>"Still, there won't be lot of Itanium computers to choose from. A
series of glitches have pushed back the chip from mid-1999 until now, and
that's on top of a fairly long development period. Consequently, most
companies are now concentrating on building computers for McKinley, a
second, more powerful version of Itanium, which will start appearing in
pilot projects at the end of the year.
"Every vendor's plans have changed considerably. We had much more aggressive
plans 18 months ago," said Jay Bretzmann, product marketing manager for
IBM's X series of servers. "It makes a lot more sense to shift development
and focus to McKinley." <end-of-clip>
Does anybody know if this means "McKinley" chips will be used by HP in the
future?
